I'm not sure why no one has thought of this solution?
I can't think of a Villages ID card lock anywhere in The Villages. I don't even think ID cards can be used as a key without issuing new cards. Are you going to also require the rec center employees to refuse access to the rest rooms? I don't think that would go over very well with the employees.

What would be interesting to know is what most women think vs most men think about this issue. Hmm...

I didn't think that there is an issue with the general public going into the rec centers to use the restrooms, is there?

I certainly would be AGAINST a line of portable toilets in the parking lot of my mail center. Installing card readers for entry to the pool areas would be expensive. Without even considering the cost of the hardware and the power and data infrastructure to implement the solution, the fences are only a few tall. Any desperate landscaping employees would vault the fence bypassing the access control system. Is the problem really that big?

I don't know what you mean by an issue, but contractors and the general public use the rec center rest rooms all the time, and the rec center employees allow it with no ID required. All of the rest rooms are located in the front part of the rec center building.

Well, apparently they can use the rec centers so that's probably better than the pool restrooms.

Men don't understand that many women are concerned about stuff like this. Women are ingrained to keep alert. It's tough to explain to guys.

The restrooms (especially the mens) is used by landscapers and delivery people and not those of us using the pool.

There is a very visible line on the cement going towards the men's restrooms and visible dirt on the entry gate knob.

What is your opinion on neighborhood pools being used as public toilets?
What is your problem with someone using a restroom? Especially landscapers and delivery people. They need to go somewhere. Don't be so entitled.

Seems to me that men are more obsessed with who is using the men's room than women are. Hmmm

Because men are just dense? Do you have any scientific data?

No, not at all. It's maybe the safety factor with this issue that's concerning.

I know when there are only 2 or 3 of us women at the pool that we will lock eyes with each other if a man walks into the pool area that doesn't look trustworthy and doesnt look like a resident...and is just there to use the restrooms. It's tough to explain to guys how women feel.
